About

Excellent regulatory compliance in the necessarily extremely tightly-controlled air freight market is a must, especially for a high-profile company such as Lufthansa Cargo. It is thus at the forefront of such matters, as evidenced by its announcement in September 2018 that it was the first airline to successfully transport dangerous goods via an electronic dangerous goods (eDGD) declaration. The company itself, led from the front by its in-house legal department, has made a major contribution to the establishment of eDGD standards that will allow paperless dangerous goods shipment to assume increasing importance in coming months.
